Just look at that sky! It’s not a shining sun, but it’s day light and seven degrees so I’m a very happy cyclist today. It’s amazing how quick the weather has gone back to “normal”, I even stripped off my gloves on the way into work!

7am start today for us as I ran the British 10k London Run (for the third year in a row) which kicked off at 9:35. Always a tough race as it’s normally sweltering, and today was no different. They have also changed the route to be more hilly and included 6 or 7 times where you double back on yourself.. Not fun.

Still, I did it! And I was pretty happy with my result of 1:00:55 as I felt like I really had to push through the heat and crowd, though it is nearly 6 minutes of my most recent PBs.. But with over 25,000 people it’s understandably hard to get those targets!

The rest of the day was lolling about reading and helping Nic cooking a cracking roast dinner, fantastic end to the weekend.

What a lovely Saturday I have had! Nic and I spent a lot of today bustling around the flat before taking a walk through the park to get tapas and sangria. I’ve been catching up on reading mostly as we have a busy day tomorrow with it being my second race of the year!

Here’s a photo of us from earlier today, I loved this one, cheeeeeese.

Get on your dancing shoes, it’s time to celebrate the fact we still have jobs!

Today was our annual profits party, so it was all aboard for a night on The Silver Sturgeon! The night flew by and we got some lovely photos though this one was definitely my favorite from the evening..

Today I ran my first race of the year, The JP Corporate Run. It’s a 5.6km run around Battersea Park, and it went really well as I beat last years time finishing at 30:55!

I’ve been a keen runner now for about three years, though I’m definitely not the fastest, I really enjoy it, especially seeing my improvements! Early this year I started a little running club at my work (Miles for Lunch), so the biggest satisfaction of tonight was seeing my little running buddies do great as well!

What’s got two thumbs, is terrible at keeping up to date with daily blogs, and doesn’t understand when visual gags don’t work online, THIS GUY..

It’s been well over a year since I last posted on this blog and I am sorry! But I’m here again, wide eyed, bushed tailed and a fancy new LG G4 in my paws hands with the aim to get some fancy photos up here once again.

I think I’ll kick it all off again with a series of update photos as a fair bit has changed over the last year, the largest being our (my lovely boyfriend Nic and I) new flat in Sydenham as pictured here!
